In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!

What about those in the USA already awaiting adjustment of status?

I’m hoping it won’t effect us because we are already here. I’ve been here since early January so it would definitely be more dangerous if I went home then if I just stayed here?

I had a glimmer of hope this morning when I spoke to the Embassy about an emergency appointment for my k1 interview... guess that’s out the window now. Just when I thought this nightmare couldn’t get any worse.

Yeah, but if the idea is to protect American jobs, why not just stop issuing SSNs and green cards to foreigners now?
